Learn to Sew and go beyond the Journey
Your Creative Journey Starts Here
These classes are all about you—your ambitions, your pace, and your passion for sewing.
Sewing isn’t just a practical skill—it’s a creative outlet, a chance to slow down, and a way to craft something truly personal. My goal is to create a warm and supportive space where you can explore your creativity, improve your technique, and leave with something you’re proud of.
If you’d like to be part of this exciting new chapter, I’d love to hear from you.

Hello, I’m delighted to announce a new series of sewing classes in Lichfield. With decades of experience—ranging from creating bespoke everyday garments to intricate pieces for weddings—I’m passionate about sharing the art of sewing with others.
Sewing isn’t just my skill, it’s my story — and I’m here to help you write yours in fabric and thread.
